As you guys know, my *istD's aperture control was malfunctioning, so I sent it to CO and was thus without a digital body. Nate and I got together with Herb and I took my only other AF body, the ZX-50, which I hate because of the cheap build. I hadn't used it in months. I wasn't sure I'd loaded it correctly, but I assumed it would yell at me if I misloaded the film. It didn't, and I "shot" about 20 exposures, many with Herb's FA 31mm, before realizing the film wasn't advancing. Said realization was followed by a tirade about shooting film and missing good shots. Now I'm going to have to get together with Herb to try the FA 31mm again because the shots I ended up shooting with it were in such low light that I can't tell the difference between it and my new Tamron 28-75mm Di. I want to see if that was caused by the low light or if the Tamron really is the equal of the FA 31 (which I doubt for a number of reasons, but if it were true it would save me a huge chnk of money). So that's the story. Amita
